KQR dilemma

So I got my '11 Vaquero home this week and it has a set of KQR mounts installed. This is a solo bike for me and I really don't need the mounts. I guess my options as I see them are to remove the mounts and sell them, but then I'm left with 4 holes. Plan B is to powdercoat them black to match the bike. Has anyone coated their mounts, and do you have pics of how it looks?

Thanks!

Can you fill the holes with black hole plugs?

I took mine off and needed to fill the holes. I went with the plated ones, and figure I can paint them to match the bike.

My problem is, whoever had the bike before me and put the mount on somehow managed to get two different sized holes.

Looks Like 82.05 each,for new covers without holes. From this site and they are color matched? no paint. You can sell the rack to pay for it. I ordered a White tail piece for my 2016. $122.00 color matched.

just a thought

Well There you go. A better price. Now here is a thing to consider.... A different color. I have seen a Green Vaquero with Black Strut covers. Not sure I liked it but it was an interesting look. So much so that I offered to Buy his green covers for my Great White Buffalo-2016 Vaquero.
